In an activity, how do I change a list between drop down, check box, and plain text?

The three lists below were created with a Multiple Choice Reportable Component. Each type would serve a slightly different purpose in your activity. This article will explain how to create each of them, and easily switch between those three options.

Drop Down List Check Box List Non-Interactive List

Drop Down List:

Open your Activities Builder and click Manage Components.

For answer type, make sure Multiple Choice is selected, and type in your answers/options. The Allow multiple selections box should NOT be checked.

Open your activity and choose your Reportable Component from the list on the right. Under Options keep the circle filled for Allow user input and then you can choose to check the User Response Required and Limit Options boxes.

Check Box List:

Open your Activities Builder and click Manage Components.

For answer type, make sure Multiple Choice is selected, and type in your answers/options. Check the Allow multiple selections box.

Open your activity and choose your Reportable Component from the list on the right. Under Options keep the circle filled for Allow user input and then you can choose to check the User Response Required and Limit Options boxes.

Non-Interactive List:

Open your Activities Builder and click Manage Components.

For answer type, make sure Multiple Choice is selected, and type in your answers/options. It doesn’t matter if the Allow Multiple Options box is checked.

Open your activity and choose your Reportable Component from the list on the right. Under Options fill the circle for Use only the following selection and fill the circles for the options you would like to appear. Once you are done, click Submit.
